No it is a depressant. However it can induce a feeling of euphoria, which is why you see people get rowdy when drunk.

Yes, it first acts as a depressant (making you sleepy) when you drink too much, but continues to stimulate your brain after you fall asleep (hence lots of tossing and turning and restlessness)

No. Alcohol is a depressant, and therefore has the opposite effects of a stimulant.

No, alcohol is a depressant, it depresses the central nervous system.

It is not at all a stimulant. It's a depressant.

No it is a depressant if you check with the American Medical Associaiton definition.

It might feel like a stimulant in the beginning, but it is actually a depressant.
If you consume too much of it, the next morning you will definitely be depressed.

Yes, alcohol appears to act as both a depressant and a stimulant (this is referred to as a biphasic response), and it appears to depend strongly on the individual involved.

Alcohol acts as a stimulant with the first drink, however as you keep drinking it has a depressant effect on the CNS.

Alcohol is a drepressant. It depresses the Central Nervous System and as such it reduces breathing, reduces the heart rate, and slows the control mechanisms in the brain. Too much alcohol consumed at one sitting can result in a coma, respiratory paralysis and death.

It works as, and is classified as, a depressant. A small amount may make one feel a little more active, and may make one toss and turn trying to get to sleep, making it seem like a stimulant, but that would be a misinterpretation of how it is actually affecting the brain. The "lowering of inhibitions" effect comes from some higher areas of the brain being depressed (essentially put to sleep) that cause the inhibitions in the first place. By the time one reaches alcohol poisoning levels, alcohol is depressing areas of the brain that manage basic life functions.

No. It's a depressant.

Its a deppresant

It's a way of life.
